1. Executing Stop Work Authority
This four-part process to resolve unsafe conditions in the workplace requires
you to Stop, Notify, Correct and Resume. In the oil and gas industry, it has
become one of the most effective modern approaches to safety.

Upon observing an unsafe practice or process, all workers have the right to
ask their teammates to stop what they’re doing and quickly talk about what’s
happening, as well as a safer alternative.

New employees will be naturally hesitant to speak up when it interrupts the

flow of work, while veteran employees may be too comfortable to follow
stricter safety standards. However, not only should these type of assessments
be allowed to occur, they should be encouraged by everyone.

One of the best times to enact the Stop Work Authority is as soon you’re
asked to do something that doesn’t seem safe, or when you’re asked to
complete a task you don’t understand how to perform
safely. Employers and employees should encourage
one another to come forward about unsafe situations
without repercussions.

2. Confined Spaces
Understanding the health risks of working in confined
spaces can help you to stay safe when exposed to
restricted entry or exit points.

Spaces such as storage tanks, pits, bins, silos,

manholes, tunnels, ductwork, pipelines and excavated
areas can be extremely dangerous without proper precaution. Big dangers
within these hazardous environments include:

zz Exposure to toxic or flammable gases or chemicals

zz Asphyxiation

zz High noise level from crushing or grinding machinery

zz Extreme hot or cold temperature

zz And limited lighting

Some confined spaces are more hazardous than others and are, therefore,

zeteky.com 101 Safety Talk Topics for Oil and Gas HSE Managers 2
 classified as “permit spaces.” This means they require special permits to
enter, continuous monitoring and testing before entering and during work.
Dangers of permit spaces include but are not limited to:

zz Hazardous atmospheres

zz Fluid material capable of engulfing people

zz Converging walls

zz Downward sloping or tapering floors

zz Heat stress

zz Unguarded machinery

zz And exposed wires or electrical threats

Depending on the confined space and related hazards, entrants may be

required to wear a mask, air-supplying respirator, eye protection, gloves,
helmet and protective clothing.

Because attendants assigned to monitor the safety of entrants must be

fully aware of the hazards inside, they must communicate with entrants
and monitor environmental testing equipment from a safe location outside.
An attendant’s job is to protect entrants by performing non-entry rescues,
summoning rescue services, tracking entrants and keeping other personnel
out of the hazardous space. If your job requires you to work in or enter
confined spaces, your employer is responsible for providing:

zz Proper training

zz Emergency action and rescue plans

zz Atmospheric testing equipment

zz Personal protective equipment

zz Respiratory protection

zz And a fast, appropriate response to reported hazards

3. Crane, Derrick and Hoist Safety

When it comes to moving heavy loads with large cranes and derricks, safety
risks and hazards increase exponentially with the size of these massive
machines.

More than 20 deaths and nearly 200 annual injuries can be prevented
by staying aware and in compliance with strict OSHA, state and federal
standards.

zeteky.com 101 Safety Talk Topics for Oil and Gas HSE Managers 3
Whether you’re operating or simply working around these machines, it’s
crucial to understand the specific safety concerns for each type of general,
construction or maritime crane and derrick use. In general:

zz Don’t operate damaged equipment

zz Don’t alter hoist rope

zz Don’t walk under or near suspended loads

zz Don’t use crane equipment as a ground for welding

zz Never allow welding electrodes to touch wire hoist rope

zz Always perform comprehensive visual inspections and tests before operating

zz Have a clear understand hand signals

zz And always verify the OSHA safety standards with each load

All cranes and derricks must be regularly inspected, maintained and

operated only by those who are qualified, licensed and certified to do so. Not
only do operators need to be specifically qualified for their job, but they must
also have experience working with each job’s specific load type, lift type and
equipment.

When they’re being used in offshore oil and gas operations, cranes cannot
be operated when helicopters are active and must include personal flotation
devices. Special considerations and precautions must be taken for offshore
personnel transfer.

Passengers should also understand the risks and precautions of offshore

personnel transfer and be mindful of:

zz Carrier collisions

zz Falling from the carrier

zz Vertical impacts due to mis-timed landings

zz Tagline entanglement

zz And immersion

4. Oil Well Derrick Stability: Guy-wire Anchor Systems
Anchored stability systems keep derricks stable in dynamic environments
where changing factors threaten personal safety and equipment.

Each different type of anchor, even custom-made, have varying levels

of holding capacity. Manufactured anchor types include screw or helix
anchors, expanding plate anchors, flat plate anchors and pivoting anchors.
Shop-made anchors should conform to the same standards, be designed
by registered engineers and undergo proof testing for both integrity and
strength.

Rig stability is indicated differently by each component of the system.

Foundations should be leveled and graded so that fluids will drain away and
not flood working areas. Appropriate tests should be performed on the soil
or surface to determine its load capacity. Guy-wires should be in the right
position, with the appropriate amount of tension and anchored according to
the mast manufacturer’s recommendations. Vigilant visual observations can
indicate rig stability. Signs of a solid and stable rig include:

zz No excessive movement

zz Level components that don’t lean side to side

zz Guy-wires that can remain slack on one side and taut

on the other

zz Loading and unloading operations that don’t cause

excessive movement or leaning

5. Fall Protection
Falls may seem simple to avoid, but they’re actually
the most common cause of work-related injury and
death. The risk for falling increases substantially
when your workplace includes elevated platforms or
workstations and holes in the walls or floors.

Both employers and employees must commit to preventing falls by supplying

and using fall prevention equipment. This is an OSHA requirement over
dangerous equipment and at different elevations for each type of workplace.
For shipyards, that distance is five feet, while in long-shoring operations, it’s
eight feet.

zeteky.com 101 Safety Talk Topics for Oil and Gas HSE Managers 5
 To protect workers, your employer is required to cover or surround:

zz Floor holes

zz Open sided platforms

zz Floors or runways

zz And dangerous machines or areas

Fall protection measures for those areas include railings, toe-boards, hole
covers, guard rails, safety nets or a safety harness and a line system.

Beyond providing physical barriers, OSHA standards require employers

maintain clean, dry workspaces, which are free of known hazards. They
must also provide appropriate personal protective equipment to all affected
workers at no cost, as well as job hazard training in a language they
understand.

6. Barrier Guard for Drawworks Drum at

Oil Drilling Sites
OSHA standards for the machine guarding of drawworks drums prevent
accidents and fatalities aboard oil rigs.

Among other potential hazards, spinning chains have the potential to

become entangled in the fast line cable as it’s spooled onto the drum,
wrapping around or striking workers and pulling them into the drum where
severe injury or even death could result.

Ensure drawworks drums include metal casings on the lower front, top and
sides of the machine for proper machine guarding. In addition, a removable
barrier guard or screen should be mounted in the front or on top of the
machine, extending at least seven feet above the working level and covering
all exposed sides. This extra safeguard protects workers from contact or
entanglement with the nip point between the moving fast line cable and the
drum.

Employers have the additional responsibility of informing all workers of this

dangerous rotating drum hazard and implementing safe work practices that
avoid contact with moving machine parts and cables.

7. Well Site Ignition Sources
Understanding potential sources of ignition on a well
site is crucial to preventing fires and explosions. Some
hazards include hot work such as:

zz Welding

zz Open flames

zz Internal combustion engines

zz Electric power tools

zz Communication radios

zz Smoking

zz Power generators

zz And the catalytic converters of vehicles

Special precautions should be taken in workplaces affected by those specific

hazards, to address each danger individually. Some of those solutions
include:

zz Creating safe locations with guards where hot work is being performed

zz Assigning workers to perform duties as fire watchers, overseeing hot work areas
during the actual work and for the following half hour

zz Ensuring fire extinguishing equipment and alarms are available

zz Wearing appropriate protective clothing

zz Inspecting equipment regularly and before each use

zz Ensuring and inspecting adequate ventilation for hot work areas and other spaces
that could accumulate toxic fumes or smoke

zz Maintaining entry permits for hazardous areas

zz Posting no-smoking signage where gas and vapor hazards exist

zz Using spark arrestors with internal combustion engines

zz Prohibiting open flames and catalytic converters near or on the rig

zz Removing and relocating any equipment that could produce sparks

zz Properly storing gas cylinders, away from flammable substances, with gauges
and regulators removed

Both employers and employees should vigilantly understand and implement

these safeguards to prevent life-threatening danger due to fires and
explosions.

9. Vapor and Gas Degassing From Tanks

Working with storage tanks poses the special risk of toxic vapor and gas.
Storage tanks and vats pose a dangerous risk to oil and gas workers when
they’re not completely removed using rigorous degassing methods known as
vapor and gas freeing.

Employers are responsible for implementing and enforcing safe degassing

procedures. These vary depending on the material and worksite, but should
include identification and control for related hazards including ignition
sources, toxic hazards and atmospheric hazards caused by missing or
malfunctioning safety systems.

Unless vapor is completely removed from a storage tank before it’s cleared
for entry, asphyxiation, explosion, corrosion and more could result. In the case
of exposure, employers must have personnel who are trained to perform CPR
and have specialized personal protective and rescue equipment.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) information should also be available at

the worksite and provided to medical personnel treating an exposed worker.
Employees should know the hazards of these workspaces, understand
the signs of vapor and gas exposure and use protective equipment when
working in hazardous areas.

Even when every precaution is taken, it’s important to maintain

communication. Be prepared to evacuate the space immediately if ordered
to do so, or if an alarm sounds or if you begin to exhibit exposure signs.

10. Tank Isolation
Isolation is a process of removing a confined space, such as a petroleum
tank, from service while protecting the space from contamination by
methods including blanking, binding, removal of pipes or lines, double block
and bleed systems, lockout/tagout of energy sources and disconnecting or
blocking mechanical linkages.

Before tank entry, employers are required to document the completion of

all required procedures before permitting tank entry. With those procedures,
each isolation plan is required to address isolation requirements, tank
suction, tank lines and connections, energy sources, vapor recovery systems,
tank foam protection, overfill protection, interior devices, cathodic protection
and isolation verification before a permit can be issued.

11. Hazards of Manual Gauging & Sampling

The process of manually gauging and sampling production tank fluid poses
deadly threats and dangerous hazards for oil and gas workers. The most
dangerous of these occurs when hydrocarbon gas and vapor combine to
create a toxic, explosive fog. This happens when a thief hatch is opened for
manual gauging or sampling.

Toxic exposure due to a thief hatch vapor release causes immediate and
serious health problems for workers including:

zz Eye, lung and nervous system symptoms

zz Abnormal heart rhythms

zz Dizziness

zz Loss of consciousness

zz Disorientation

zz And cardiac arrest

Both employees and employers can prevent this deadly situation with smart
planning and safety precautions. Employers can protect workers by posting
appropriate hazard signage at tank access points; training workers on
related safety practices and emergency response procedures; as well as
conducting frequent evaluations of exposure levels as part of their ongoing
hazard assessment.

zeteky.com 101 Safety Talk Topics for Oil and Gas HSE Managers 9
 Workers should wear personal protective equipment and only designated
breathing apparatuses along with a tested and calibrated gas monitor.
They should also remove anything that could cause a spark or ignite.
Before beginning work, they should notify designated personnel and
determine wind direction with a windsock. They must remain upwind and
ground themselves prior to contact with the catwalk by touching bare skin
to a metal handrail.

12. Slips, Trips and Falls

Prevent or minimize dangerous slips, trips and falls on the worksite by taking
these smart precautions whenever you’re working in hazardous areas:

zz Wear appropriate personal protective equipment for your work environment

including hard hats, work gloves, eye protection and non-slip and waterproof
shoes

zz Stay aware of slipping or falling hazards

zz Maintain a workspace free of spills, oil, tools and debris that could pose tripping or
slipping hazards

zz Work and walk only on non-skid surfaces when possible

zz Keep cords and hoses wrapped up and away from walking areas

Employers can minimize risks and remove hazards in their workspaces by:

zz Installing guards and guardrails around hazardous or elevated work areas of

more than four feet

zz Ensuring that stairs with handrails are installed, inspected and maintained where
needed

zz Inspecting and repairing workspace ladders

zz Covering open cellars and spaces in floors

zz Regularly identifying and rectifying hazardous work conditions

zz Providing floor plugs for machinery and equipment in order to minimize tripping
hazards and ground-level obstructions

18. Ways to Prevent Hearing Loss

The extreme conditions of an oil rig, gas drill or refinery can be accompanied
by extreme noise levels. Not only can hearing loss affect your life profoundly
and permanently, it can put you at serious risk for life-threatening workplace
accidents caused by miscommunication.

Necessary ear protection can protect your hearing, but must also allow you
to communicate and hear warning or alert sounds of hazardous conditions
and equipment malfunctions.

Employers should accurately and regularly assess worksite noise levels to

ensure they’re requiring and enforcing the right level and type of personal
protection.

Prevent gradual, temporary or permanent hearing loss, before it happens, by

using smart strategies to protect your ears:

zz Have regular hearing tests, particularly if your workspace exposes you to loud
equipment or environments

zz Limit your exposure to loud noises

zz Protect your ears with approved hearing protection rated for the noise levels in
your work environment

zz Monitor yourself for the subtle signs of early hearing loss including difficult
conversations, problems using the telephone, tinnitus (constant ringing, buzzing,
humming or whistling noises), stress, sleep disturbances, hypertension and
anxiety

21. Knowing Your Emergency Plans
Home isn’t the only place you need to plan for emergency situations
and extreme weather. Workplaces are required to have emergency and
evacuation plans for disasters and situations relevant to their area and
industry.

Plans for evacuation and emergencies should include contingencies for fire,
flooding, tornados, power outages, hurricanes, active shooters and industry-
related disaster situations. While each emergency plan will differ, they should
detail:

zz Evacuation routes and strategies

zz Safe spaces

zz Hazardous areas to avoid

zz Protective or emergency response equipment

zz Notification and communication methods

zz Responsibilities and re-entry policies

Employers are responsible for developing these plans in accordance with

national and industry standards, communicate them to the entire affected
workforce, post evacuation procedures publically and conduct regular drills
to re-assess the plans and train employees.

22. Report it Immediately

23. Dangers of Walking Surfaces

Slipping and falling is a dangerous but completely preventable workplace
hazard in the oil and gas industry. Along with paying vigilant attention to
walking and working services, follow these smart safety steps to avoid
slipping, tripping or falling at work:

zz Keep walkways and stairs clean and debris-free.

zz Gather and store cords, lines, wires and hoses whenever they’re not in use.

zz Wear the right footwear for your workspace. That could include waterproof,
slip-resistant or steel-toed shoes.

zz Wear properly fitting clothing that can’t cause a tripping hazard.

zz Walk at a pace that allows you to pay attention to the environment you’re working
in.

zeteky.com 101 Safety Talk Topics for Oil and Gas HSE Managers 12
 zz Mop up water and spills immediately while blocking and marking wet areas with
signage until completely dry.

zz Use signage and bright tape to identify elevation changes or uneven surfaces
such as steps, ramps and platforms.

zz Keep parking lots, entrances and outside walkways free of snow and ice with
frequent shoveling and salting as needed.

When slippery services can’t be avoided, walk very slowly with shuffling steps
and your arms at your side. Focus on keeping your balance using railings
or walls as support where possible. Keep your knees bent and feet pointed
outwards as you navigate slowly to a safer area where you can also remove
moisture from your shoes.

30. Hand Protection

Your hands are one the most essential and accident prone parts of your
body. Since they’re used so often and typically exposed, they’re also tricky to
heal once injured. So it’s best to take extra precautions in order to avoid hand
or finger injury altogether.

In an industrial workspace, including those commonly found in the oil and

gas industry, hazards to your fingers and hands can include:

zz Burns from extreme heat or cold, sparks, exhaust pipes, steam,

hot liquids and molten metal

zz Chemical burns, irritation or absorption

zz Falling or rolling objects

zz Sharp objects and edges capable of lacerating or

puncturing the skin

zeteky.com 101 Safety Talk Topics for Oil and Gas HSE Managers 13
 zz Cutting or jagged tools

Stay safe by:

zz Wearing appropriate hand protection or fitted work gloves

that can’t be caught in equipment

zz Staying behind the work guards of machines

zz Locking moving machinery when not in use

zz Keeping your hands clean and free of chemicals or slippery substances

zz Avoiding wearing rings and jewelry when working with tools and machines

Maintain safe working practices and communications about workplace

hand hazards to avoid serious injury including lacerations, crushed bones,
fractures, burns, bruises, abrasions, cuts, chemical exposure and amputation.

31. Emergency Stop Buttons

32. Hazards of Jewelry in the Field

Wearing jewelry in the workplace is a completely avoidable hazard. Remove
watches, rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces before entering an
industrial workspace in order to avoid life-threatening injuries.

While it may be inconvenient to remove and store expensive, meaningful

jewelry, doing so allows you to avoid:

zz Electrical conduction

zz Getting caught in machinery or tangled in moving parts

zz Catching on the surrounding environment and causing cuts,

laceration, or even strangulation

Every year, hands and fingers are lost unnecessarily because of jewelry
getting caught in moving machinery or conducting power. A simple arc flash
has the potential of melting a metal ring to the flesh of your finger, a very
serious injury that will likely require surgery.

 If you’re having a hard time with the idea of removing your wedding ring at
work, consult your employer or industry standards for alternatives including
rubber or stone rings. Another option may be to wrap your conductive metal
jewelry in non-conductive material such as wrappings or coverings.

Required jewelry including medic alert IDs are available in non-conductive,

breakaway styles, making them a much safer choice for an industrial
workplace.

35. Stay out of the Heat. Prevent Heat Illness

Indoors or outside, heat related hazards pose serious but preventable health
risks. Although everyone is susceptible, heat related illnesses are most likely
to affect workers over 65, those with heart disease, high blood pressure or
diabetes and those on medication for chronic conditions including insomnia,
circulatory issues and depression.

Heat related illnesses and symptoms vary in severity and include:

zz Heat rashes including skin irritation, bumps or redness

zz Heat cramps caused by low salt levels in muscle tissue

due to excessive sweating

zz Heat exhaustion, another cause of excessive sweating

and water loss. Symptoms include cold or pale skin,
clamminess, weakness, fatigue, headache, nausea,
vomiting, dizziness, fast or weak pulse, fast or shallow
breathing and fainting.

zz Heat strokes as a result of your body no longer

controlling its own temperature. Heat strokes can cause
a rapid rise in temperature, loss of the ability to sweat,
hot or red skin, high temperature, confusion, fainting,
dizziness, seizures and a rapid or strong pulse. If not

treated, heat strokes may cause death or disability.

Follow proven safe protocols for working in extreme heat by:

zz Staying hydrated, even if you’re not thirsty

zz Avoiding alcohol and caffeine

zeteky.com 101 Safety Talk Topics for Oil and Gas HSE Managers 15
 zz Resting frequently in shaded and air

39. The W’s Emergency Preparedness

In emergency preparedness: Who, What, Where and When are common
guidelines to minimize the danger of a situation and guide your efforts.

zz Who refers the people involved and those that need to

be informed of what’s happening.

zz What refers to what procedure and equipment you should be seeking out.

zz Where refers both to the location of the emergency and the

safe location you should evacuate to.

zz When refers to the timing of your reaction and report of the incident.

These 4 W guidelines are quick reminders to help you respond fast in an

emergency, but there is much more you can do year-round to prepare for
the worst:

zz Employees should review procedures upon being hired, then twice per year.

zz Locate and review the locations of emergency equipment.

zz Test equipment to ensure it’s functioning and still meets industry safety standards.

zz Perform emergency drills annually for all of your company’s emergency

procedures.

zz Regularly share safety information and statistics that encourage your team to
take safety training seriously.

Employers and supervisors should consider the four W’s when developing
emergency plans for:

zz Fires and explosions

zz Floods

52. The 5 S Safety Methodology
Basic safety standards can go a long way to prevent workplace hazards and
accidents, but it can be difficult to introduce and enforce new habits.

Encourage your team to keep your industrial work environment clean and
safe with the 5 “S” Methodology developed in Japanese manufacturing.

zz Sort: Eliminate obstacles by keeping only necessary items and materials in your
work area. Regularly review what you’ve stored and remove or dispose of what
you don’t need ready access to.

zz Straighten: Prevent loss, time wasting and hazardous clutter. Organize, label and
store equipment and materials in a way that’s easy for anyone using them to
maintain. For materials that expire, enact a first-in-first-out strategy.

zz Shine: Clean workspaces daily to ensure their safety and provide an opportunity
for safety inspections easy. This will help to identify required preventative
maintenance on your equipment and environment.

zz Standardize: Create and post schedules, audits and easy-to-use visual

standards that promote the 5 S system. Further support these principals with a
work structure that encourages organization and cleaning.

zz Sustain: Encourage cleaning and safety standards to become part of the

daily routine in your workplace and good habits of your employees.
